VOICE OF THE CITY. 


The opinion of city people who know Mr. Haddock pro¬ 
fessionally, is, that he can give as good an examination as 
can be had from any living Phrenolugist and Physiognomist. 
He can show testimonials that would fill a newspaper, but 
over five years faithful practice in San Francisco ought to 
be some recommendation to strangers. 

All those who have had examinations by Prof. Had¬ 
dock are his best advertising agent's, and he will stand or 
fall by what they say of him. 



What pod will a phrenological examination ho mo ? 


Is a question often asked. It will not give you talent or 
brains, but it will tell you how to make the best use of those 
you have. It will answer the question, “ What can I do best.” 
It will show you where you.are weak and how to strengthen, 
where you need to put a curb or check on so as to secure 
for yourself the most health, wealth, happiness and peace of 
mind. 





(ThK 


HE first and fundamental principle of Phrenology is, “ Brain is 
w the organ of the mind.” The material instrument through 
which the mind acts is illustrated in J. B. Hill’s case, of San 
Francisco, He had his neck broken by a bale of hay falling on his 
head, May 23d, 1889. “The third and fourth cervical vertebrae were 
crushed to pulp,” says the medical report; and again, “he was dead 
to all intents and purposes below the neck, seat of injury.” That 
means, all brain communication with the body was cut off—all pain 
and sensation of feeling in the body was absent. The telegraphic 
wires were down, so communication with headquarters (the main 
office ) was destroyed. Yet he lived over one month after the acci¬ 
dent, with a mind as clear as ever; chatted with his friends, gave 
orders to his men engaged at house-moving, and communed with his 
family in social and domestic matters, which he left in complete 
order.

I saw a man fall out of a buggy on Market street, this city. He 
was carried unconscious into a neighboring drug store. A physician 
was summoned. “ Did he alight on his head ?” inquired the doctor. 

“ He did,” said a bystander. “ Concussion of the brain,” replied the 
doctor. Had the poor man dropped on his feet would the “ concus¬ 
sion ” have rendered him insensible ? Had he broken a leg, or even 
an arm, how would it have gone with him ? Not so bad as the 
head. Everybody knows that an injury to the head is a serious 
matter, and nobody knows better than the doctors that a blow on the 
head, or a fever, may turn the most gifted individual into a raving 
maniac. Why? Because the “brain is the organ of the mind” 
Injure the brain and you injure the instrument of the mind. 

In the face of these facts and similar, which are occurring every 
day, it seems strange for anyone to say to the contrary, especiall)’ 
when we come to realize that all the greatest scientists, anatomists 
and broad-minded physicians of to-day now agree with the phrenol¬ 
ogists as to the functions of the brain. These facts alone ought to 
satisfy Mrs. Stanton, our California physiognomist, who is in a “state 
of uncertainty as to the function of the brain ” [Stanton, page 10]. 
Our fair physiognomist is imbued with an idea that “the brain is not 
the sole mental organ ”. Yet it was in Hill’s case; certainly his 
stomach was not, neither was his heart. She thinks that the “mus¬ 
cles and nervous ganglia exhibit mental manifestation”; but Hill’s 
“muscles and nervous ganglia ” did not even exhibit signs of life 
after the accident. Therefore, it i| not good reading to find on 
page 27 in her book that “it has been reserved for a woman to 
carry out these observations and researches to a finality ”, 

Let Mrs. Stanton recognize this fact, that the nervous system is 
simply an extension of brain matter wherever it extends in the body; 
that the main office of this wonderful telegraphic system is in the 

BRAIN, WITHOUT WHICH NO MESSAGE CAN BE RECEIVED. 

Now, I am going to add some important testimony from the 
highest scientific authority, which ought to remove all doubt as to 
the “function of the brain,”: 

The great Magendie says : ‘‘ Brain is the material instrument 

of thought. This is recorded by a multitude of experiments and 
facts.” 


5 


Dr. Joseph Gregory says: “The brain is the organ of the 
intellectual powers.” 

Dr. Cullen says: “ We cannot doubt that the operations of our 
intellect always depend upon certain motions taking place in our 
brains.” 

That great anatomist, Dr. Mason Good, has left this on record : 
“ Brain is the instrument of thought, of the intellectual powers, the 
quarter in which they originate.” 

Grey’s Anatomy is accepted as the very highest medical author¬ 
ity extant. He says : “ The brain includes those nervous organ s 

in and through which the functions of the mind are immediately 
connected.” 

I could fill this book with such testimony ; yet Dr. Gall, the 
founder of phrenology, was persecuted and debarred from lecturing 
in Paris by the government, through pressure brought upon it by the 
medical faculty, lor declaring just the same thing less than twenty 
years before Dr. Grey’s statement. 

Sir William Elies, physician to the lunatic asylum, Middlesex, 
England, says: “ Until I became acquainted with phrenology I 

had no solid foundation upon which I could base my treatment for 
the cure of insanity.” 

C. Otto, M. D., says : “ I not only consider phrenology the 

true science of the mind, but also as the only one that may be 
applied to the treatment of the insane and criminals.” 

If Mrs. Stanton still thinks that “ the muscles and nervous gan¬ 
glia are instrumental in producing mental manifestations”, then Pat 
Reddy, with one arm, or General Howard, who has also lost that 
appendage, will be that much deficient in “exhibiting mental 
manifestations; but nobody has ever suspected it, for both gentlemen 
are at home on the platform, “ exhibiting mental manifestations ”. 

“ If we would understand ourselves,” says the Hon. John Neal, 
“ we must interrogate phrenology.” 

A clergyman who was condemning phrenology ( because he 
knew nothing about it) was properly rebuked by the venerable 


6 


Archbishop Whately, who said: “All moral and religious objections 
against phrenology are utterly futile; phrenology is a true science. 
* * I have studied these things; you have not.” Which reminds 

me of what L. N. Fowler said once : “ You will find the greatest 

opponents to phrenology are those who know the least about it.” 


AFTER ALL THIS EVIDENCE, 

Which could he multiplied ten thousand fold, we naturally expect that 
local physicians ought to be the last persons in the community to 
ignore phrenology; but if you talk to them, more especially, 
perhaps, the Allopaths, they do not like to accept phren¬ 
ology, but antogonize it all they can—strong evidence, in my mind^ 
that they either do not understand this mental science, or are influ¬ 
enced by some other motive. 

A certain local physician not more than three months ago delivered 
a public lecture. He exhibited a live pigeon, in which he had removed 
by the cruel art of vivisection, a portion of the brain, “ the seat of in¬ 
tellect,” which he acknowledged, and according to phrenology removed 
the frontal lobe. Letting it go, it flew against the wall. It had ‘dost 
its judgment,” thus furnishing one of the best proofs he could give as 
to the truth of phrenology. Yet this very learned man inconsistently 
says, “ phrenology is a fallacy”. If this medical priest thinks he can 
disprove phrenology by removing the brains from a pigton or a frog, 
he ought now to disprove electricity because he caunot discover the 
current in a copper wire. He might just as well try to discover wind 
in a blacksmith’s bellows. 

I challenged this gentleman to discuss phrenology face to face 
with an audience, but he politely declined. I will undertake to prove 
phrenology is a true science by his own head, or any other man’s head, 
or skull of a deceased person. The fact is, practicing physicians know 
very little about mental science; nor are they any more qualified to 
know about it than any of my readers of ordinary intelligence. 
However, if they know more of the relations between brain and mind, 
or of mind and body, they would be more successful in healing, 
instead of experimenting with drugs that sometimes kill the disease, 
and, alas! the patients, too 


7 


How many physicians know that persons with a small phrenolog¬ 
ical organ of friendship are mostly constipated through life, organ¬ 
ically ? Or that one with a large organ of Vitativeness will live through 
the worst forms of disease ? Because afraid of death ; while one small 
in that organ cannot so well resist disease, and sooner dies? Really, 
do they want to know ? Doctors assume a very mysterious air on visit¬ 
ing patients, because they know so very little beyond drug medication. 
How many of them know that for every phrenological organ there is a 
corresponding physiological one—As Amativeness with sexual parts ? 
They turn their faces against these facts, which are so well known to 
most phrenologists ; but as soon as the people find these things out 
for themselves^ they will have no more use for doctors. It is a fact; 
and here is the secret of the so-called mind cure, which even thn 
‘‘ faithists ” and metaphysicians know, but do not understand. How, 
and w 7 hy ? Because they know nothing about phrenology. Disease 
can be cured by exciting and quieting the mental faculties, by chang¬ 
ing the course of nervous energy, turning the mind in another direction, 
directing the will, and appealing for Divine help, that the very bottom 
of the disease will drop, as it were, out of the system. I know it—I 
am not preaching what I do not practice, because I have “a large woife 
and a shmall family,” as the witty Irishman would say. I have nine 
children, that do not cost me a cent for doctors, and if everybody 
understood phrenology doctors would either have to turn phrenologists 
or work, because everybody would learn to despise a death-dealing 
drug system that is hurling them to their graves. 

A CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL 

In the full enjoyment of health, went to a certain doctor in this town; 
to gratify, perhaps, a morbid curiosity, hut feigned sickness ; the doc¬ 
tor diagnosed his case, and prescribed for liver complaint. To a 
second doctor he weut, who diagnosed and prescribed for kidney trou¬ 
ble. He went to a third doctor, who diagnosed and suspected “only 
a little stomach trouble The fourth doctor diagnosed and prescribed 
for a feverish condition of the blood and slight depression of the nerv¬ 
ous system. If the gentleman had taken any of these medicines he 
would have become really sick. 

What does this mean ? That the science of medicine is a 
humbug, and that the medical faculty have made little or no advance 


8 


in the cure of disease. A man dies, and they cut him up to discover 
what caused his death! 

Phrenology teaches what a man is suffering from when living, 
and saves his life. 

I cannot help quoting a veteran phrenologist’s 

OPINION ON DOCTORS. 

In his “ Life, its Factors, Etc.” page 159, O. S. Fowler says: “I 
have no personal hatred of doctors, but antagonize them so sharply to 
warn my readers against them, and to tell them how to keep themselves 
well. And in the long run tens of thousands will thank me for direct¬ 
ing their attention from doctors and drugs to nature’s self cure.” 

Is this the secret of the doctors 9 animosity towards 
phrenology? Do they know that with a popular acceptance of 
phrenology their occupation will be gone? I believe it; and believing 
it I do not wonder at their animosity towards phrenology. It is a 
question of bread and butter, and only human nature that they try to 
keep the people dark on all subjects relating to health and manhood* 
Or why do they surround themselves with such mystery ? Why for¬ 
sake plain English iu speaking of human anatomy? Why does one 
portion of the brain become the “ decussating fibres of the corpora 
pyramidaiia ” ? Another “ infundibullum ” ? Another “corpus col- 
lossum”? Another “locus perforatus posterior, or pons Tarim”? 
Why speak of the upper jaw as the “ superior maxillay bone ”? Why 
do they prescribe in Latin ? Why call Spring Valley water “ aqua 
pura ” ? 

I do not forget that there are physicians and physicians—some 
ripe with knowledge and experience, yet humble, broad-minded, gentle 
and Christ-like ; such are ministering angels, full of self-sacrifice and 
devotion, and, like a ray of sunshine in a sick-room, succoring and 
soothing suffering humanity. But the self-conceited, bigoted, dog¬ 
matic, fee grabbing medical priest, wrapping around himself a robe of 
exclusiveness and superiority, at the same time salivating and dosing 
his victims with calomel and other death-dealing drugs, is despicable in 
the eyes of a phrenologist. A doctor of this latter type assured me 
quite recently that “a man could live without brains”; and I must 
confess I never, as in his case, saw a better attempt to do so! 



9 


A CURE FOR DOCTORS 

When people and governments are wise they will abolish this vile 
system of drug medication, andPestablisli in each ward or precinct in 
every town a real natural physician, and pay him well to keep them 
healthy, but nothing while they are sick. If in San Francisco we were 
to adopt this system, there would not be so many funerals as there are. 
Instead of 745 doctors 35 would do—one to every 10,000 would be 
sufficient, then, instead of drugging so much. The doctor would say: 
“ Throw open your windows, air your beds, let the wind circulate 
through the house, but avoid draughts; don’t eat pork, or stuff your¬ 
selves with so much animal food.” And he would say: “I won’t be 
responsible if you choose to burn yourselves up with whiskey, etc.” It 
would never enter his brain to dose them; and after a while people 
would realize that “ sarsaparillas,” “ bitters,” “ liver pills’’and medi¬ 
cines are humbug. No doubt this reform rests with the people them, 
selves, but I have no hopes of their salvation until they realize the 
teachings of phrenology. 

•* If we would know the truth about ourselves,” says the Hon. John 
Neal, “ we must interrogate phrenology ; it is a revelation put by God 
himself, within the reach of all.” 

The late Rev. Henry Ward Beecher said in his latter days : “All 
my life long I have used phrenology because it solves the practical 
phenomena of life.” 


Is it not strange that some medical men deny, others claim credit 
for, “discoveries” known to phrenologists since the time of Gall? 

According to the daily papers, Dr. Ramsey of Philadelphia, one of 
the examining physicians for an Eastern railroad comp my, recently de¬ 
clared “ he had discovered that the sense or perception of color was not 
in the eye, but the brain”. “He discovered” it! Would it not have 
been proper to have said, “Gall discovered it, and phrenologists are 
right”? Dr. Ramsey may yet “discover” that all the senses of man 
are dependent on brain. As brain, so is mind ; and Dr. Ramsey may 
yet “discover” that it would be as reasonable “ to suppose sight in a 
socket without an eye, circulation without a heart, digestion in an 
abdominal cavity without a stomach, as to expect a mind without a 
brain”. We do not look for such a phanomenon—we know better.

Oae more testimony gives the foundation and structure of this 
book. It is from a professor of phrenology, now fifty years in the ser¬ 
vice ; although seventy-nine years of age this year (1890 ), he still 
retains his vigor of youth. 1 allude tc? 

PROF. SIZER, IN “HEADS AND FACES.” 

He says : “ The time has gone by when a shrug of the shoulders, 
pr a shake of the head, a repulsive wave of the hand, or the bigot’s 
argument, can set aside a subject that claims to make clear the most 
important facts that can attract the world of thought. If the claims 
of phrenology be true, if a living character can be studied by the 
organization of the brain, if a mother can know, as she fondles her dar¬ 
ling, whether there lurks fire in his mental organization, that shall 
make trouble and procure disaster for the darling of her heart, it' in 
the brain can be read the talents which shall distinguish the owner 
and bless the world; if traits can be discovered before the tenth year 
that shall indicate the orator, or the engineer, the writer, the historian, 
the philosopher, artist, teacher or divine, ought not the public to know 
it, to understand it, in order that the generations that follow shall be 
guided in moral and intellectual culture, and training of the propen¬ 
sities, so that each child of the future shall be made the most of, and 
thus the race be lifted up into usefulness and honor ?” 




HUMAN NATURE IS GRADED. 


J N .JUDGING CHARACTER, remember that*human nature is 
graded. Theie is as much difference in the organic quality of 
mankind as between gold and sandstone, or as silk and linsey- 
wooUey ; and characters differ accordingly. ‘A study of human 
nature as a whole is a study of the compound existence of body and 
mind. This is the full meaning of phrenology.” Fine-haired, small¬ 
boned, thin-skinned men and women have fine brain tibre, 
and their minds correspond to* this fineness. They are sensitive 
and susceptible to the higher influences of art, music, poetry, litera¬ 
ture, etc., while thick-skinned, coarse-grained men and women with 
large bones and muscles have coarser brain fibre and corresponding 
mental traits of character, and if uneducated inclined to be rougln 
coarse and vulgar—of the earth, earthy. 

A large head is not always a sign of a powerful brain ; on the con¬ 
trary, very often of dull, coarse stupidity. Nor is a large body always 
the strongest; texture is the qualification. Quality of brain corres¬ 
ponds with quality of body; as the exterior, so is the interior, and so 
the mental traits. Therefore, in judging character, first classify by 
judging of texture. This will lead to a consideration of the 





TEMPERAMENTS. 


Your next observation should be on Temperaments, of which 
there are three: 1—Mental: brain and nerves; 2—Vital: vital parts; 
3—Motive: bones and muscles. See which predominates. Mental 
is distinguished by a preponderance of brain and nerve matter; such 
have large heads in proportion to body and a pyriform face high and 
broad at the forehead and narrow at the chin; small bones, thin 
skin and delicate constitution. Reason tells you such an one would 
not do for a blacksmith, or heavy labor, but more adapted to the 
lighter and higher pursuits. 

The next Temperament is Vital. The Vital parts include the 
stomach, heart, liver, blood vessels, etc., and distinguished by a full" 
ness and roundness of the form; the 
f/tce is as wide, and perhaps \vider } 
at the bottom than the top, and cheeks are 
full. All the bones of the body are well 
cushioned with fat. Such enjoy life physi¬ 
cally, are not anxious for hard work either 
by Read or hand, but look after ease, comfort 
and pleasure, and generally manage to get 
into an easy place. Very good business 
men, merchants, etc., or those running 
concerns as manufacturers, etc., will be 
found to possess this temperament. 

Motive Temperament is known by a predominance of bones and 
muscles. Such are fond of action, are strong and willing to work at 
mechanical trades, or at least show off to best advantage in some 
occupation where bone and muscle is of greatest service. 

John L. Sullivan, the pugilist, has a great preponderance of the 
Motive, Grover Cleveland of the Vital, and Alfred Tennyson of the 
Mental. 




Vital 

Temperament 

LARGE. 


Vital 

Temperament 

SMALL. 


Some persons are very evenly balanced, but usually one Tem¬ 
perament leads the other two. When you learn to distinguish the 
Temperaments and their proclivities you have secured the ground¬ 
work, the basis, the key or index, which, with the knowledge of 
organic quality, you will begin to estimate character very well; but 



13 


for fuller and extended information you will have to enquire further. 

In ancient times character used to be studied solely through the 
Temperament, of which the physiologists named six or seven, but 
such estimates natural]}’ fell wide of the mark—gave generals, but 
could not indicate details of character. Then mankind was com 
sidered physiognomically; but as the face is only a register of the 
mind—a reflection, as it were, of the internal,—it was found that 
persons in later life developed traits no one suspected, and that were 
not indicated physiognomically. Physiognomists only looked on the 
surface. So we now go to headquarters, and a good phrenologist can 
by this great man-unfolding science reveal the character, disposition, 
talent, power and weakness of an individual accurately and scien¬ 
tifically. 



SHAPE OF HEAD 


INDICATES 

EXTERNAL FORM OF BRAIN 
AND CHARACTER. 


“ Thus we find that the bones of the head are moulded to 
the brain.”— Chas. Bell’s Anat. II, page 390. 

‘’The only way of estimating the volume and shape of the 
brain on the head of a living person is to take the dimensions 
of the skull.”—Magendie. 


HAT great scientist and anatomist, Cuvier, whose brain 
A is said to have weighed over fifty-four ounces, must have had a 
very large head when we come to consider that a full-size brain 
weighs forty-eight ounces. He dissected thousands of mammiferous 






14 


animals, as well as human heads, and he has left this state¬ 
ment on record : c * The brain is moulded in the cavity of the skull, 
which it fits exactly, so that the osseous part affords us a 
knowledge of at least the external part of the medullary mass 
within.” 

According to these high authorities ( Bell, Magendie and 
Cuvier,) the shape of the head indicates shape of the brain. There¬ 
fore, in taking the shape of the former we do get the shape of the 
latter; and as brain form indicates character, we accurately distin¬ 
guish character that way, including, of course, cognizance of Tem¬ 
perament and organic quality, which we have considered in previous 
chapters. 

Now let us look at the outlines of these three heads. The 
smaller one represents the shape, form and size of an idiot in Man¬ 
chester, England; the next one a criminal and tyrant; the third and 
larger one, a poet. 

Would you suppose a great mind belonged to the smaller head? 
Why not? Because the brain is not there. This deficiency of brain 
caused idiocy for life. It is a phrenological maxim that “ size is a 
measure of power when other conditions are equal ”. By “ other 
conditions ” is meant, of course, texture or organic quality, tempera¬ 
ment, health, and proportion of body to mind, etc. Phrenologists 
are often misunderstood in this matter. We never do nidge by size 
alone. Dr. Simms, the physiognomist, gives a portrait u. ‘ Charles 
Skinner, an idiot with an abnormal head, having the enormous 
horizontal circumference of 26^ inches ”. “ This idiot,” says Dr. 

Simms, “possesses more than Goldsmith’s garnish of brains, if we 
judge by size, as do the phrenologists.” This statement is not an 
accurate one; therefore neither honest nor fair to phrenologists, 
because the writer infers or suggests that we judge by size alone, 
which anyone can disprove by every writer from the time of Gall 
and Spurzheim, to Combe, Brothers Fowler, Nelson Sizer, and every 
writer on phrenological science to the present day. Mrs. Stanton, as 
an admirer of Dr. Simms, makes the same fatal mistake, which has 
led her into grievous errors. Her language is sincere, I know, and 
her pictures are faithful, I am sure; but Dr. Simms’ language con¬ 
veys no such impression to my mind; while his portraits, wherein 


15 


be tries to lift up physiognomy at the expense of phrenology, are mere 
caricatures and exaggerations. We know that brains like Skinner, 
abnormal in size, are not healthy, and do not indicate strength or 
power any more than a diseased leg, abnormal in size, indicates strengtli 
or power. 

If there is disease, or low quality, “other conditions” are not 
equal; yet size is a measure of power when the case is normal, healthy, 
etc. We know that a ten-inch thick oak beam is stronger than a five- 
mch thick oak beam, same quality; both architect and builder know 
that. The propelling shaft of the cruiser “Charleston” is thicker and 
stronger than the propelling shaft of the “ Sea Lion”, because one is a 
large ship, thousands of tons burden, and the other only a tug. The 
builders at the Union Iron Works recognize this law; if they did not 
they could not estimate power. This law applies to man, mentally and 
physically. Daniel Webster had a large brain, and of fine quality, or 
he would never have arisen above a pettifogging lawyer. Gladstone, 
Bismarck, and all other great men that ever lived had large brains and 
corresponding fineness of texture, or they never could have become 
great Search this or any other city through, and wherever you find a 
man at the head of others in a railroad or newspaper office, or in any 
place of business, you will find a large head. Every successful lawyer, 
preacher or teacher has a larger brain than the average, or he could 
not be successful. The general average of a full-size head is 22 inches 
around, but the head of the smallest of the three outlines measured 
only 14 inches, and his brain only weighed 20 ounces, while a full- 
size brain weighs 48 ounces. 


The Middle Head (dotted line.) 

Now let us observe the head with the dotted line. You will see 
there is a deficiency of development in the frontal lobe, or the region 
of the reasoning faculties ; while at the crown, in the region of self¬ 
esteem and firmness, he is unusually developed. It was this combina¬ 
tion that made the subject so conceited, stupid, tyrannical, intolerant 
and criminal. The moral region is low, and the selfish sentiments 
unusually high. There was not sufficient moral to restrain the dog¬ 
matical. 


16 


“Aleck ” Goldenson, 

The murderer of Mamie Kelly, was quite as high'at the crown as this, 
and his vanit}' and self-will was as conspicuous in his character. 
“Aleck ” had very much more of the intellectual development; 
therefore, he was intelligent, so far as he had exercised those faculties; 
but the animal passions and selfish sentiments ruled his intellect. His 
brain weighed only 44 ounces, andihe was weak in the moral region, 
too; therefore, there was not sufficient restraining power to keep him 
in the path of rectitude. 

The San Francisco Examiner, after the hanging, asked its readers 
and correspondents for their opinions, and it was really amusing to 
read some of those * 4 opinions ” by otherwise sensible men. It was 
evident not one could give a true reason for Goldenson’s conduct—not 
one understood his mental condition, his cranial development, his per¬ 
verted moral nature, or that his conduct was in harmony with the 
the shape of his brain. 

In my office I have an oil painting of a man of this type, whose 
head shows two-thirds of his brain lies behind the ears and at the 
crown, who spent, out of thirty years of his life, more than 
ten years in prison,and was ultimately saved by will power. Was it 
Divine will? The kindness of a jailor and soothing words of a home 
missionary touched his sympathies and awakened new life in him ; he 
had never been used to such kindness, for w r hen out of jail he was 
watched by the police, shadowed by detectives, and kept like a 
stag at bay. He came out of prison and I examined his head, inform¬ 
ing him that if he sought a better life, different companions, and never 
more excited his passions and animal nature by drink, his animal nature 
and passions would lie dormant, and his moral faculties could be 
awakened by the grace of God. 

While I never could endorse the antics of the Salvation Army, I 
thought it best to direct him there. He became a repentant sinner, 
and to-day that man is one of the most enthusiastic soldiers in the Sal¬ 
vation Army. The religion of the Salvation Army is an emotional 
religion and that suited his emotional, boisterous nature. The church 
could never hold him ; no intellectual sermon could hold him ; because 
like the man represented in the dotted line, he has very little intellect. 
Therefore, he cannot comprehend intellectual sermons, but he can 


17 


shout. His spiritual faculties are awakened and active, which keeps 
him under supernatural fear: and he told me he “ had been afraid of 
going back to the devil His head justifies his strange 
actions during the years I have known him. Such heads as 
these do not come from good parents—it took generations to produce 
a head like his, and it would take generations to get back to an 
intellectual formation like the 4 

Larger Head, 

Which is that of John Price, the poet and learned critic. Compare the 
fullness, the prominence of the intellectual lobe of Price with the other 
two heads; note the length from the opening of the ear forward to a 
line drawn to the tip of the forehead down to the root of the nose, seat 
of intellectual capacity; and another line from the base of brain, 
beginning at the ear again to Veneration, etc., and you will see the 
great difference. There was just as much difference in the characters 
of the three men as the outlines represent. 

That form and shape indicates character, 

PROVE IT YOURSELF. 

“For fifty years I have studied crania and living heads from 
all parts of the world, and I have found in every instance that 
there is a perfect correspondence between the development of 
the skull of an healthy individual and his known character¬ 
istics.”—L. N. Fowler. 

Have you a friend or neighbor who is self-willed, stubborn, obsti¬ 
nate as a mule? Now learn the location of Firmness (see symbolical 
head, page 3, and “Notes to Students.”). That is, see whether he has 
this organ large, as you know it to be a conspicuous trait in his char¬ 
acter. If you find it so you have discovered a phrenological fact. 

You know another who is very timid, safe, careful, hesitates, puts 
off measures too long, procrastinates, etc. Now learn the location of 
Cautiousness; see whether his head is developed as large in this region 
as you know it to be a leading trait in his character. If so, you have 
arrived at another phrenological fact. 


18 


You know another who is most kind-hearted, sympathetic, would 
do any man a good turn, a Good Samaritan, etc. Now learn the loca¬ 
tion of Benevolence. If his head is as well developed as you know 
him to be kind-hearted, etc., you have arrived at another phrenological 
fact. 

You have a child, or know a neighbor’s child, who is full and 
round in the centre of the forehead, say one inch above the root of the 
nose. Now learn the location of Eventuality. If lie or she has this 
organ large, the child will be inquisitive, always asking questions, 
want to know why and wherefore, and remember what it hears so well 
as to astonish you. 

And so on, follow every phrenological organ in this manner, com¬ 
paring development with the known traits of character, or a lack of 
development with a lack of that trait. Compare the head of a cautious 
man with one who is careless; a stupid one with one who gives way 
too easily; a kind hearted man with a mean, unkind man ; you will 
find the mean man’s forehead “villianously low”. 

Take no man’s word for the truth or falsity of this science ; a man 
that condemns a science he knows nothing about is either a knave or a 
fool! Study the subject up for yourself if you are searching for the 
truth, and if you adopt this plan you will gather facts that no man 
can refute. “ Facts are stubborn things,” with which you can convince 
unbelievers; nor is it possible for anyone but a bigot to refute facts 
and proofs like these. 

A NEW WORLD 

Will open up to you; you will begin to wonder that you have never 
made the discovery before; and if you wish to put the science to a 
further test, choose three or four good phrenologists at one time or 
another, take a phrenological examination from each one, making 
notes of the same; but see that the examiners are reliable men, for 
there are quacks in phrenology as well as medicine, unworthy men, 
who have done the science incalculable injury, their whole aim being 
dollars rather than benefitting mankind. Now compare notes, or if 
charts, compare charts, and you will find no such mistakes as the four 
doctors made in diagnosing and prescribing for the gentleman named 
on page 7, but such an exact resemblance—not exactly in words, for 
each man in describing a thing describes it in his own way, which still 


19 


has the same meaning,—I say you will find the description to 
resemble so much, and all will agree so exactly as to your general dis¬ 
position, talents, weakness or power, that you will he surprised at the 
result; and surely you will know for yourself whether any man tells 
you the truth. 

Prosecute your observations further still; the subject is such a 
fascinating one that you will find there is 


Something Worth Living For. 


Nature never errs—she cannot err; her laws are immutable. If yon 
cannot account for this, that or the other, remember you are only 
learning, and it may be your fault, but the more you observe and study 
the more you will learn of Nature’s great truths. If you wish to know 
why 

SPIRITUALISTS 

Are spiritualists, why they “ kick” against church doctrine-, yet still 
believe in the immortality of the soul, small Veneration and large 
Spirituality and Hope is the answer. I mean genuine spiritualists, 
not those who are in it for money, but from conviction. It is a fact 
these spiritual organs can be highly developed, or inflamed, by “ sit¬ 
tings ”, at the expense of the intellect, which, if too strictly persevered 
in, develops into a mild form of lunacy. Although not a spiritualist 
myself, I have seen sufficient to convince me an abnormal development 
of Spirituality, under a Nervous or Mental Temperament, like John 
Slater of this city, and James Burns of London, and others I have 
known during these last thirty years, that a clairvoyant stage can be 
reached whereby so-called spiritual phenomena obtains. It is the 
same “second sight” that Jesus had when he described the Pharisees, 
“Ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful 
outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones and of all unclean¬ 
ness ”; but it is a power that can be used to devilish ends, and often 
is by “sorcerers”, “seers” and “mediums”, “ fortune-tellers ”, etc. 
Whoever possesses this power, either transmitted or developed, have 
an abnormal condition of brain that I pray God I never may obtain, 
unless to be used to legitimate purpose. 


20 


A Good Churchman 

Will have these spiritual organs large, but accompanied with large 
Veneration, Benevolence and Conscientiousness, which gives a higher 
and rounder ridge-like shape from the top of the forehead to the 
crown, generally falling away a little in the region of self-esteem. 

An Infidel 

May have a good devolopment of the moral faculties, lead a good, 
moral life, a pattern to a majority of so-called Christians, yet the 
ver}> fact of him being an infidel proves that he has a smaller devel¬ 
opment of the religious sentiments, has a great deal less faith than 
reason ; one who takes no stock in religion in any form or shape, vet 
a moral man himself, and a good reasoner; has a full forehead, flat 
top-head—that is, his organs of Causality and Comparison are so 
large, and his Faith organs so low, that he cannot believe different 
until he reverses himself ; and while he remains under the direction 
of his natural organization he will be just as sincere in his non¬ 
belief as believers are in their faith. Uufortunately for the infidel 
he thinks the parsons don’t believe all they preach, simply because 
he cannot see as they see or feel as they feel; on the other hand, the 
parsons ( some of them ), like the infidel, not understanding that 
each believe according to his organization (and training for training 
develops), pities the latter, and thinks he is in the possession of the 
evil one—led by the devil. 

It is Impossible 

In a small book like this to describe the shape of head of every sect, 
or do justice to the theme of phrenological science. However, we can 
compare the low, flat top-head of a 

Criminal 

With the high top-head of a moral man; or the 

Successful Business Man 

With the wide head between the ears and fullness over the eyes, with 
a wage worker that generally spends as he goes, or the full, wide fore¬ 
head of one poetically or artistically inclined, with one that has no 
taste for poetry or art. 


21 


Contrast the large back head of the “born” or “trained” pugilist, 
with the one who is tame, inoffensive, and never wants to quarrel or 
fight; compare the man who loves his children with the one you 
know does not ; the former has a head that hangs lull over the 
spinal column—tne latter is flat, and cares for neither children, nor 
animals, nor pets. 

If you will study up phrenology you will find out why some 
make headway in business, while others can not, however they try ; 
why some can sing or play so easily and beautifully, while others 
cannot, however they practice; why some can talk well, others write 
better; why some men love their own wives as well as other men’s 
wives ; who are loving, true, honest, kind-hearted people, such as you 
would like to know ; who is trustworthy and who is not. 

Phrenology and physiognomy combined will solve these great 
problems of life. So please read the next chapter. 



















THE HUMAN FACE 

f 

And How To Read It. 



THE 


PHILOSOPHY OF EXPRESSION. 


“NA TURK'S REVELATIONS .” 


“A man passes for what he is worth. What he is engraves 
itself on his face, on his form, in letters of light, which all 
men read but himself. Concealment avails him nothing, 
boasting nothing; there is confession in the glance of ©ur 
eyes, in our smiles, in salutation, and the grasp of hands. 
Character teaches above our wills. Men imagine that they 
communicate their virtue or vice only by actions, and do not 
see that virtue or vice emits a breath every moment.”—Ralph 
Waldo Emerson. 


FEW months ago, before the Anthropological Society, in 
(Oyr London, Bernard Hollander instituted a series of experi- 
\^ ments by galvanism, says the San Francisco Morning 
Call, in order “ to establish a firm scientific basis for the teachings of 
phrenology Mr. Bernard could have added physiognomy as well, 
because the latter is simply an expression of the former. When Mr. 
Hollander applied the current to a certain portion of the brain, 
the students saw the subject gave a mirthful expression, but when 








24 


applied elsewhere no such expression was thrown on the face. The 
seat of contact with the current was exactly the place where Gall 
located the organ of Mirthfulness. [See foot note.] Applied in 
another part of the brain, a frightened expression obtained; this was 
exactly the place where Dr. Gall, the founder of phrenology, located 
the organ of Fright, now called Caution ; and caution inflamed, or 
abnormally developed, or unduly excited, results in fright; hence 
Gall’s original name for it. When the current was applied elsewhere 
no such expression obtained. In another place the current was 
applied, and the lips, tongue and cheeks begun to move, indicating 
the seat or centre of the organ for Appetite had been excited. This 
was exactly the place where Gall located Alimentiveness. So of 
numerous other organs, but let these suffice. 

What Do These Experiments Prove? 

They prove that phrenologists are right, that truth, although subject to 
scorn and ridicule, always triumphs sooner or later ; they prove that 
there is a polar centre, or facial nerve centre, for every organ 
of the brain; they prove that whenever an organ is brought into action 
that organ expresses itself on the face —thus: something funny is 
said, the organ of Mirthfulness is tickled, becomes excited, and we 
laugh. The facial nerve centre, or polar centre of Mirthfulness, is 
located at the corners of the mouth; therefore, in laughing the corners 
of the mouth are drawn upward by muscular action, induced by nerv¬ 
ous force, transmitted through the organ of Mirthfulness. A person 
that laughs much becomes fixed, as it were,with a smile, ready to burst 
into a full-blown laugh when some circumstance arouses the organ 
of Mirthfulness into action ; and so of every organ of the brain. 
Each mental faculty has a nerve or polar centre acting in unison 
with itself, and thus in time engraves itself on the face. 

I believe this is the only true philosophy of expression. We 
know that the muscles of the body grow with exercise and training. 
A pugilist or blacksmith develops his arms, a letter-carrier gets 
strong in the legs, a cable gripman strong in the hands; so does a 


Note.—G all did not, as some suppose, first map out the head and assign a faculty or 
organ to each locality, but he always observed that certain developments corresponded with 
certain traits of character in thousands of cases before naming the faculty. This process 
involved years of labor and careful study. 



25 


bricklayer 01 stone mason become strong in his grip. All men who do 
heavy manual labor, as ’longshoremen, woodcutters, etc., get to have 
large hands. So it is with any organ ; if not overworked it grows and 
develops, its activity draws blood to itself; blood contains nourishment, 
life, and builds up not only the organ but its nerve centre, leaving an 
impression on the face in Nature’s own language for us to read if we 
will. Take a run through our 

ATHLETIC CLUBS. 

See the heads and faces of these men who delight in a good 1 set-to ”, 
who go into ecstacies at the sight of blood, jolly, hearty and boister¬ 
ous. but do they look like parsons, any one of them ? Is there one of 
them looks as if he were a missionary or a member of the Society for 
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals? Can you find one among the 
crowd with a face or a head like John Wesley, or like our own vener¬ 
able, good Bishop Kipp? Nay, not one. 

PHYSIOGNOMISTS 

Are here weighed in the scales and found wanting ; not one of them 
up to date has given the philosophy of expression; they have observed 
the face of Nature, but never probed her depths, her internal woikings. 

I mean, of course, those physiognomists who have ignored phrenology. 
They have, by years of observation, seen the effect, but have 
not traced effect to cause. Physiognomists who have scorned the ^ 
“phrenological idea” are like the man who would hold a clock up to 
the world and say, “ Here are the fingers, the index, the lines, the 
figures, etc., but the hands move on the dial plate by some mysterious 
process, ot their own accord, but I can assure you, ladies and gentle¬ 
men, there are no works behind the dial plate.” 

That is the position of the physiognomist *of to-day; but a bright 
day has dawned upon the world, thanks to the energies of the disciples 
of Gall, for, as the great Horace Mann said, “ He who disseminates 
phrenology is a true benefactor.” 

IN JUDGING CHARACTER, 

It is not correct to be guided by one sign alone ; for instance, the 
polar centre or facial sign for Combativeness, or pluck, is shown by a 
sharp prominence on the bridge of the nose, but if the sign is accom¬ 
panied by a small retreating chin, that indicates a small base of braim 


26 


which means physical weakness, want of animal heat and passion; con¬ 
sequently less pluck, less “steam”. The spirit may be willing, but 
the flesh is weak. 

Amativeness 

Or Sexual Love, is indicated by a rather thick red top lip, and a strong 
broad forward chin. 

Conjugality 

Or Love of One points the chin ; therefore, when Amativeness is large 
and Conjugality small, a dimple will appear. One with a dimple in 
the chin is attracted by uew faces, and falls easily in love. 

Philoprogenitiveness 

Or Love of Young, is seen in the contour of the upper lip. and full 
mammillary glands. 

Friendship 

You can easily make friends with those having a fullness of body; the 
phrenological organ of Friendship is large when you see the assimila¬ 
tive properties of the body and the bowels are doing their work ; also, 
around the malar bones is great fullness of flesh. Oh, it is a wonder to 
me that physiognomists and physicians have never seen the connection 
with brain and body. They have stood in their own light Is not a 
dyspeptic thin and irritable ? What for ? Because neither his stomach 
nor assimilative properties or bowels are in working order, and greasy 
foods, pills and drugs make him worse. 

Not in League. 

If the coffee houses and restaurants were in league with the doc 
tors to make the people sick with their pastries and pies, their pork 
and fine cakes, they possibly could not form a better compact. No 
person can live three months on such greasy foods without resorting 
to pills, sarsaparilias, bitters and purgatives. But they can provide 
good, wholesome food when their customers call for it. 

Destructiveness. 

Look out for one whose upper row of teeth project over the lower. 
It denotes the carniverous type, as the lion, tiger, vulture, etc., show¬ 
ing Destructiveness large; such can both bark and bite. The lower 
jaw projects in inoffensive people, like the oxen, sheep, etc. 


27 


Alimentiveness 

Is a good feeder, shown by a fullness over the molar teeth. Dyspep¬ 
tics have sunken, hollow cheeks. 

Acquisitiveness 

Is seen in the thickening of the nose just above the wings, as in the 
Jewish race. Prof. Wells calls it the “ commercial nose 

Secretiveness, 

When very large, closes the mouth tightly. The illustrious Grant is a 
fair example. 

Cautiousness 

Lengthens the nose and points it downward, 

Approbativeness 

Or a Sense of Honor, draws the lips back tightly. Prof. Wells says 
the upper lip, when slightly raised, exposing the teeth, is a very 
good sign. 

Self-Esteem 

Carries the head high, and lengthens and thickens the upper lip, as if 
a quid of tobacco were under it. 

Firmness 

Is seen in a *stiff upper lip”, strong bones, heavy, square jaws 
and upright spine. 

Conscientiousness. 

I hope my readers will not consider me ungallant in again refer¬ 
ring to a lady for whom I personally entertain the very highest respect 
and esteem, but the very fact of Mrs. Stanton placing Conscientiousness 
on the “chin” and Dr. Simms in “bones and muscles”, proves that 
physiognomists have not established their system on a sound, scientific 
basis. Phrenology makes no such mistakes, but places the faculty at 
the head of the moral group, majestically seated near the crown on the 
throne of Justice; and its expression is seen in the eye. An eye that 
looks you honestly and candidly in the face is honest, candid and con¬ 
scientious. If Mrs. Stanton’s sign is correct, then hoodlums and jail¬ 
birds have large Conscientiousness, for I have noticed ninety-five 
criminals out of one hundred have large chins. Dr. Simms says, 


28 


“ large bones and muscles ” arc a sign of Conscientiousness, and cites 
Lincoln, Sherman, Wellington, etc., as examples. If Dr. Simms had 
said large bones and muscles were often a sign of awkwardness he 
would have been nearer the mark; but they are no more a sign of Con 
scientiousness than my deceased grandfather’s old number nine shoes. 
If all large-honed men and women are honest, then small-boned men 
and women, being in the negative are dishonest: but from the fact 
that, as a phrenologist, I know so many beautiful men and women of 
small bones and muscles, that are conscientious, honest, and of the very 
highest moral character, makes Simms’ proposition absuid, in my 
opinion. 

Hope 

Is well expressed in the light, bouyant, elastic step of the successful. 
Contrast it with the general appearance of the depressed and dis¬ 
appointed. 

Spirituality 

Is akin to Hope, with a more “far off ” and dreamy look; accompanied 
with a full top head and a cultivated mind, it gives a fine, angelic 
appearance ; when not educated, a vacant credulous stare. 

Veneration 

Is denoted by a submissive, subdued cast of the eyes. In adoration to 
God the eyes are turned upward, revealing the same subdued expres¬ 
sion. Phrenologically, it is the respect to or obedience to God and 
man. It is small in those who stare you through. 

All the Remaining Signs 

Are in front of the ears, forward of a vertical line from that point to 
the top of the head, and down to the base line to the lower eye-lid. If 
y< u know the phrenological locations, you know now the rest of the 
physiognomical, as both emerge into one. For instance : 

Language 

Is denoted by a fullness and roundness of the eyes. Why this is so 
can only be surmised—that the brain organ of Language seems 
to push out the eye when the faculty is very large. It is also noticed 
tbit prominent orators have-larg} mouths; so have large eaters, for 
that matter. No doubt both great speakers and great eaters use those 


29 


muscles around the mouth most ; hence their increased size. 
I consider, though, that a large mouth is generally indicative of 
more stomach than brains. 

IF EVERYONE 

• 

understood the twin sciences of phrenology and physiognomy we 
would all get along much better. Honest men and women would 
have a chance to live, and those who are dishonest would either have 
to cultivate their moral faculties and become honest or be driven to 
t he wall, whereas, unfortunately for society under the present condi¬ 
tions it is the moral and unselfish that succumb, while the cunning, 
cold-hearted and selfish often flourish like a green bay tree. 

SUMMARY OF CHARACTER 

AS SEEN IN THE FACE. 

Thick lips sometimes indicate genius and conservatism ; large 
thin, dilating nostrils, a sensitive nature ; a high forehead liber¬ 
ality ; arched eye-brows a good ancestry and amiability; a bold, 
projecting Roman nose push and enterprise ; an eye that looks one 
cheerfully in the facej honesty and faithfulness; a large nose strength 
of will ; a small one weakness ; a little nose, hollow in the middle, 
and turned up at the end, a childish nature, mentally weak. The 
Chinese mainly have this kind of nose, and that nation has been 
for thousands of years in a state of childhood. 

Lips slightly curved upward at the ends indicate a fine sense of 
humor ; soft, round cheeks, gentleness and affection ; a dimple in 
the chin, one who falls easily in love; a broad chin, strong sexual 
passion and firmness; straight lips, firmly closed, resolution and 
secreiiveness. 

Dark-haired people (like the Spaniards, etc.) are more intense 
in their feelings ; if they love, they love, if they hate, they hate. 
Blondes are not so intense, but more fickle. Red-haired people have 
a sanguine nature; curly locks, excitable.

PHRENOLOGY 

AND 


GROWTH. 


/^YHRENOLOGY is a science 
V of observation and facts, 
which all may learn, and 
thus prove for themselves its 
glorious truths, independent of 
medical knowledge, although he 
is a better judge of human nature 
if he well understands the body 
in relation to brain and mind. 
The false system taught by the metaphysicians from Plato to the 
present day, by which the mind is regarded as a separate entity 
having no sort of connection with and being in no wise influenced 
by matter, has brought millions to a premature grave. 

Until phrenology and its teachings are better understood parents 
and teachers will still go on committing the same gross errors and 
mistakes. My meaning is well illustrated in a tell-tale paragraph I 
cut out of a San Francisco evening paper recently, which runs as 
follows : 


THE PACE THAT KILLS. 


The funeral of Armand Lazarus took place yesterday and was attended by 
the Temple Emanu-El Educational Board and many of the graduates of the 
Boys’ High School and the University of California. Rev. Dr. Jacob Voor- 
sanger conducted the services, assisted by Dr. Messing. The deceased was not 
21 years of age, but graduated last year from the University with high honors, 
and at the time of his death he was pursuing a post-graduate course in Arabic 
and Latin, before entering upon active theological work.—[S.F. Daily Report, 
February 13th, 1890. ]

Our stock-raisers show great skill in rearing stock. Our ranch¬ 
ers are quite scientific in rearing and training their orchards, very 
careful lest their trees when young do not produce too much fruit; 
if they do, the rancher plucks the buds and young fruit, and thus 
forces the sap into wood ; he sees this is necessary to secure 
a strong, healthy fruit-bearing tree in the future. But both 
stock-breeder and rancher seem to lose their good sense when it 
comes to rearing their young children, for they like their children to 
attend school even to the impairment of their health ; and with all 
our advance march of civilization, our city people make the 
same fatal mistakes. 

I did not know Armand Lazarus, but I know by the foregoing 
report that his brain had been running at high pressure. I know he 
has been over-working his mental at the expense of his physical 
nature, so that the physical gave out, and poor Lazarus died, not to 
be raised again. The “ University ” people could not see it, his 
teachers did not see it, his parents did not see it, and the Rev. Dr. 
Voorsanger, who conducted the burial services, perhaps thought it 
was “the Lord’s will” poor Armand should die; and perhaps his 
distracted parents may be consoled with the thought, and chant at 
his grave, “ Thy will be done. Amen ”. 

The Temple Emanu-El Educational Board and the boys from 
the High School were at the obsequies to pay their respects to the 
•dead “ young graduate in Arabic and Latin ” ! But how much they 
and the world have lost, or how much they might have gained if 
Armand could have lived, we shall never know. 

Our High Schools and Universities are developing mental at 
the expense of physical; our athletic clubs are developing physical 
at the expense of mental. If “ extremes meet ” there is some hope 
that we may arrive at the truth ere long. But, 0 Lord, have pity 
on those who do not understand their nature, or those who do not 
believe they have brains, for they cannot comprehend phrenology 1

PHRENOLOGICAL NOTES. 


In lecturing through the lumber camps of California in 1889, . 
I was not surprised to see that lumbermen understood so well the 
nature and character of the various trees and woods. And in travel¬ 
ing through the fruit valleys of Sonoma, I found men understood the 
character of the soil ; some grounds were adapted to French prunes, 
others to limes and oranges, others to the different varieties of grapes. 
Men judged of the character of fruits, the texture and beauty of 
plants and flowers, and some men I found very good judges of horses 
and cattle ; yet they marveled how a phrenologist could judge of 
the nature and character of men and women, which is only a step 
higher. 

A WITTY COBBLER. 

I once heard and saw L. N. Fowler examining a man before a 
public audience in England. “This man,” said the professor, “ought 
to be a tailor or shoemaker; he has talent for it; he is fat and easy, 
and he likes to sit at his work; he is a humorous fellow.” The witty 
cobbler replied, “ I am a cobbler, but am going to give up my shoe¬ 
making tricks, because I cannot stand sitting any longer.” (Great 
laughter.) 

ON TEACHERS. 

The most successful teacher I know is one who understands 
phrenology. Those scholars with a full eye, and a prominence right 
in the centre of the forehead, he knows delight in history, languages, 
anecdotes, recitations, etc., while those with a small eye and a 
depression all along the superciliary ridge have no such taste. He 
knows at a glance which boys are mirthful, or sad, or quarrelsome, 
or inoffensive; which are dull and stupid ; which are bright and 
intelligent ; which will excel in mathematics, which in drawing. 
He knows one can remember colors, another not; one geography, 




45 


another cannot remember names of places or streets. He knows which 
boys ought to be coaxed, and how far to go with each ; which have 
to be ruled and coerced ; and teaches accordingly. 

The present scholastic system is ungainly, and no more adapted to 
the various mass of heads than if the government were to insist on 
clothing everybody in one style and one size of suits. Some would fit, 
but ninety per cent, would be misfits. 

Moral: Let each pupil be trained or taught according to his or 
her natural gifts. All other teaching is much time and labor lost. 

ON DOCTORS. 

A lady came for a phrenological examination; I found the organ 
of Philoprogenitiveness inflamed; she feared insanity through 
worry over the loss of an only child, and having also doctored for 
“ nervousness” for over two years. Bromide^and tincture of steel and 
doctors’ bills cost her over four hundred dollars ; still she got worse. 
This was in 1885. I advised her to adopt somebody’s child. She 
did ultimately adopt her deceased sister’s child. This engaged her 
mind, and she got well. The phrenological examination (chart 
included) cost her two dollars. Moral: Stud} 7 yourself, get a phren¬ 
ological examination, and avoid allopaths. 

ON CRANKS. 

All cranks have irregular shaped heads (brains); that is why they 
are cranky. The insane are generally “ off ” only on one subject; one 
brain organ is diseased, the others healthy and sound. Let doctors 
ponder. 

ON LAWYERS. 

All men are not liars, but I saw a veiy honest witness made 
into a liar. He had a hole right in the centre of his forehead, which 
told me he could not remember names, dates or details of events. The 
attorney for the opposite side soon discovered his weakness, and he 
became like potter’s clay in this lawyer’s hands ; contradiction ended 
in confusion and demoralization; his testimony was impeached. The 
lawyer for the witness’ side of the case, not understanding phrenology, 
could offer no defense or explanation to judge or jury for this break¬ 
down, and lost his case. 

Moral: Above all men, lawyers should understand the scientific 
rules for judging human nature. 


46 


He Was a Clever Mechanic. 

A lady brought her son for examination. She wanted him to be 
a lawyer. “ Madam, your son has neither memory, language or com¬ 
parison enough for a lawyer, but he has excellent constructivenesS; 
etc.; he will make a fine builder or engineer, machinist, etc.” She 
admitted he was a clever mechanic, but not a good talkdr. 

Moral: It is better to be a successful mechanic than a pettifog¬ 
ging lawyer. 

From a Carpenter to a Canvasser. 

R. W. G. was a carpenter. I found very small Constructiveness, 
onty moderate Combativeness, but large Intellect aud commercial qual¬ 
ities of mind, accompanied with good Language, etc. I advised him 
to leave his trade, which he hated, and follow canvassing for books. He 
had “cheek” enough. He did so, and now earns over one hundred 
dollars per month, where he never earned more than fifty before. 

Moral; Use those gifts which Nature endowed you with; you 
will be happier and healthier for it. 

From Commerce to Literature. 

Ed. S. Fyfe was leading a commercial life. I found journalistic 
talent. Through my advice he changed his occupation, and he is now 
a San Francisco correspondent for several interior newspapers. 

So of hundreds who have changed for the better. 

ON PHRENOLOGISTS. 

The life of a phrenologist is brimful of remarkable episodes, 
humorous and gay to the sober and sublime. I remember a fine old 
gentleman coming to lecture in our town once, and we nominated a 
funny man for public examination. “This man,” said the professor, 
“ is a fun-loving, jocular fellow; he often stoops from the sublime to 
the ridiculous; but his head is high in the Moral region, Conscientious¬ 
ness is well developed; he means well.” The phrenologist advanced to 
the front of the platform, facing the audience, with the “subject” behind 
him. The professor's silk handkerchief peeping out of his t^ : pocket, 
the “ subject ” deftly abstracted and appropriated it to his own use; 
when a voice came from the “gods”, “ Will he steal?” The audience 


roared with laughter, and when the old gentleman wanted to wipe the 
perspiration from his brow, he instantly saw the point of the joke. 


ON EDITORS. 


“ To err is human ”; and it would be a miracle if editors never 
erred. Note the following editorial from a city paper of March 4th, 
1890: 

AN INTERESTING EXECUTION. 

A very cruel and cowardly murderer was hanged in Philadelphia a few 
days ago. His name was Schoop. The interesting part of the execution was 
that when the brain was removed it was found to weigh forty-eight ounces, 
eight ounces more than the average. The two hemispheres were not symmet¬ 
rical, and in this it resembled the brains of Napoleon and Daniel Webster. 
Let the phrenologists ponder. § 

If this editor will “ponder” he will find that Schoop’s brain was 
only average in weight (see pages 13, 15 and 16 ). His brain no more 
resembled Napoleon or Webster in size, weight or shape, than a fly 
does an elephant, aside from the animal propensities—that is, all were 
heavy in the base of the brain, with this difference: Napeleon and 
Webster had might}' intellectual developments that enabled them to 
control their animal passions; Schoop’s brain lacked the moral as well 
as the intellectual, or he never would have committed murder. Dr. 
Palmer, the great English poisoner, had strong intellect, but his moral 
region, like Schoop’s, was very low, the base of the brain heavy, 
especially Acquisitiveness, Destructiveness, Secretiveness and Amative¬ 
ness, which endowed him with the greed of a miser, ferocity of a tiger, 
cunning of a fox, and the lust of a brute. I would no more expect a 
man with an opposite type of brain (that is, one with a small back head, 
narrow and thin between the ears, high at Benevolence,Veneration and 
Conscientiousness ) to commit murder than I would a sheep to manifest 
the ferocity of a tiger, or a dove the destructiveness of a vulture; sim¬ 
ply because he has not the mind instrument to do it. 

Let editors “ponder” this over, and see if they can offer a solution, 
or evolve some remedy for suppressing crime, and protecting’the com¬ 
munity. A man with a brain like Schoop or a Palmer is do more fit 
to be at large than a mad dog to be let loose in a schoolyard of children 
A criminal—born criminal, returns to his vice the moment he is out of 
San Quentin prison, like a dog returns to his vomit.

Let clergymen of every denomination meditate on the operation 
ot this natural law; and in their noble efforts to lead mankind into a 
better life, cease to blame the devil for sins that arise from the abuse 
of the lower propensities in man. Let them join hands with the 
press to recognize the teachings of phrenology, and they will have a 
fulcrum on which, with their mighty Jevers, they can move the 
world, and lift up our American people into the very foremost ranks 
of usefulness and honor.
